1. Marari Beach, Kerala

Also known as Mararikulam Beach, this beach is everyone's idea of paradise. Crystal clear blue water, white sand and the shore lined with coconut trees, this beach is a hidden gem. It offers water sport activities and a few resorts situated at a distance. However, there is no commercial aspect to the beach. There are no food stalls as it is a lesser known beach. If you want peace and a lack of human population, head here!

2. Beach No. 7, Andaman and Nicobar Islands

Radha Nagar Beach, as it is referred to by locals, is not a much visited place and has managed to steer clear of commercialisation. Beach No 7 also boasts of some of the best diving schools in India and is a great place to go snorkeling or scuba diving. As the island is tiny, there is hardly anything to do here except laze and relax.

3. Bangaram beach, Lakshadweep Islands

The only beach where you can drink in Lakshadweep, Bangaram is still not as famous as Agatti as it is difficult to reach. However, the island does have amazing sights, a lot of flora and fauna, and a wide variety of birds and wildlife to view. A great place to be at one with nature.

7. Secret Beach, Kerala

The beach is as secretly situated as the name suggests. Secret Beach is the home of a small coastal community in Alleppey, Kerala.

8. Butterfly Beach, Goa

Sounds crazy but there is a beach in Goa that is a secret beach. Accessible only by ferry from other popular beaches, Butterfly Beach got its name owing to the plethora of butterflies that can be found there. Unlike other commercial Goa beaches, Butterfly Beach is more of a rocky beach surrounded by dense foliage.
